Why We Have Lynch Law.

Some criminal trials which have re-
| Gently taken place in our Circuit Court
are causing much comment among our
citizens. and the Jury system is coming
in for some well deserved cenSure. By "A
comparison between those who have
been indicted for crimes against the per
son under which head are assault with
intent to commit murder and crimes
against property. such as burglary. OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses, &c. !.
we find that those persons who tried To
take the lives of their fellowmen are al
lowed tn go free. while those who steal
or tried to steal their felloWman goods
and clIattels are invariably convicted and
sent to the penitentiaTY. \ stranger com
ing into this community and looking at
the criminal proceedings in our Circuit
Court will say. see evidence here of
great respect for property. but I also see
a very lax sentiment in regard Ia the
proper protection for human life. For
instance here are two cases of indictments
for assault with intent To commit muir
der. These assaults were made with
knives and the victims lives were dis
paired of at the time ami NAV yet die of
their wounds. The evidence in these
cases i the most direct and positive we
have ever listened Ia and these persons

We find two indictments for stealing and
obtaining goods under false pretenses.
These offenders against property are
promptly convicted and sent Ia the pen

Opporiune moment because he has done
such things before and a jury of his

Is il not strange in the light of these

this country there Is at present. l. not
such perversion of justice sufficient to
arouse a whole community Ia take the

Count Herbert Bismarck Imperial
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has informed
NJ. Herbette. French Ambassador at Ber-

documents in the Schnaebeles case.
The ma iority of the French newspapers
suspect that Prince Bismarck has caused
the delay in the settlement of the
Schnaebeles affair i'm the hope of impelling
the French people to the committing of
some act of folly and they urge no
abatement of the calmnesS which the
people have hitherto maintained under
provocation.
